Does anything valuable truly emerge from these culture war articles? All I see is people raging from their favorite soap boxes.

- dang 4y agoSometimes it does! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34850886 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34850886 is superb - in my book, that's above the "one has no right to expect a comment of this quality on an internet forum" line. That led me to https://news.ycombinator.com/posts?id=HuShifang https://news.ycombinator.com/posts?id=HuShifang and posts like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31074363 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31074363. I mean wow. You're right about raging and soapboxes of course. Unfortunately, angry repetition is in far greater supply than excellent comments sharing rare information. But this is an internet problem and indeed a human problem in general. We try to moderate in favor of the good posts as best we can. It's not clear how to do it much better.
